A Dallas-based ticket broker walked away as the big winner on Tuesday morning, as a group of six season tickets for this season, a parking pass and the rights to those seats for the next 30 years, were auctioned off by the Internal Revenue Service at the Federal Building in Farmers Branch.

Hank Wendorf, of Ticketsource.com, won the package with a bid of $241,000 after a 15-minute auction, in which five bidders were registered but only two were in contention for the seats. The auction was put on in order to settle a debt of over $4 million owed by Lending.com, according to the IRS.

Cowboys Tickets on the Auction Block to Settle Debt

After paying around $70,000 still owed to the Cowboys, Wendorf will have actually paid around $311,000 (as opposed to their original selling price of $320,000) for the seats, but, as a self-proclaimed Cowboys fan who grew up in Texas, he still considers that to be a value.
